The firm maintains a bilingual (Portuguese-French) website and displays a portfolio of 19 completed projects spanning its service categories.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services on a project-by-project basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans individual homeowners, real estate developers, courts and legal institutions, and institutional entities, all served through direct professional engagement rather than digital channels.
